I won't play in this market currently, too risky, each day is different now, it all depends on US market now. No news, market goes up, got subprime or credit crunch issues stock plunge.

If you notice careful of last night DJ, the 150points is only occured at last 20 minutes of the session, prior 30 minutes before the close, the DJ is hovering at neutral point to slightly red. So it is pre-mature to say the whole market is stablise already.

Actually fkli can be used as a hedging tool for your portfolio. If your portfolio is huge and your average beta is very close to KLSE's you could actually use it to lock your portfolio from fluctuations. It isn't a perfect hedge but is an alternative for you if you do not want to liquidate your entire portfolio because of fluctuations. However you have to balance the number of short contract positions to your portfolio.

yup, that's the purpose of FKLI anyway as hedging tool. But for most retail investor, it's used as speculation tool.

Yeah, most will liquidate all their stocks to speculate in the futures market.

Actually FLKI is also used to create a market neutral position whereby you make the stock neutral to market influences but open only to the stock's strenghts, prospects and weakneses.

Another use for FLKI is for exiting very huge positions in the KLCI. If a fund wants to exit a position huge enough to influence the market, the fund could have short position and exit their funds. This is because if you exit huge positions your sale orders will not all be taken at a good price. The shortcoming is made up by your short positions in the FLKI.

Another use is by simmilar means as the above but purely for market manipulation. I am not elaborating on this.

Yup that's why those foreign investor, manipulator, jaws whatever u called it, will always win when exiting. Capital appreciation from the stock and gain from FKLI.

This had been done back 1997 financial crisis, hedge fund short the equities and respectively country currency simultaneously since they know they exit the market in big way as well as short the market which increase the currency downward pressure.

That's why until now KLSE is not permitting openly short selling of stock, only regulated short-selling allowed. The market is simple too small compared to the hedge fund size.

Currently, when market tumble, ringgit goes down as well so may be it is the sign of some 'hot' money moving out currently.
